ARLINGTON, Va. (February 27, 2023)—Following the Supreme Court’s decision to hear an appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ October 19 ruling that the CFPB’s funding mechanism is unconstitutional, Online Lenders Alliance Executive Director Andrew Duke issued the following statement:
“Supporters of the CFPB have long called the Bureau a ‘cop on the beat’, playing an important role in ensuring accountability from companies providing financial services and products. But cops on the beat also have to be accountable for their actions and we hope that the Supreme Court’s review will result in a greater fairness, transparency, and accountability—which will better serve America’s consumers.”
